But then the Masons will remove the communists and take control of Russia… St. Theodore (Rafanovsky) of Belorussia (+1975). Capitalism has lifted the poor out of poverty. In 1918, 1.9 billion people lived in extreme poverty according to the World Bank’s statistics, or 52 per cent of the world’s population. This has fallen to 767 million people, or 10.7 per cent of the population in 2013. This dramatic improvement coincides with China and India moving to market economies.

  • Ratios in Setting Retirement Income Objectives
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 370 462 HE 027 167 AUTHOR Palmer, Bruce A. TITLE Planning For Retirement: Using Income Replacement Ratios in Setting Retirement Income Objectives. INSTITUTION Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association, New York, NY. College Retirement Equities Fund. PUB DATE Jul 93 NOTE 8p. PUB TYPE Collected Works Serials (022) JOURNAL CIT Research Dialogues; n37 Jul 1993 EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS College Faculty; Family Financial Resources; Financial Needs; Fringe Benefits; Higher Education; *Income; *Mathematical Formulas; Money Management; Ratios (Mathematics); Retirement Benefits; *Teacher Retirement IDENTIFIERS Consumer Expenditure Survey; Retired Persons; *Retirement Planning; Savings ABSTRACT This paper presents a method for higher education faculty and staff to assess pension plan objectives by determining a retirement income replacement ratio to maintain the salary-based preretirement standard of living. The paper describes the RETIRE Project which researches income replacement using the federal government's annual "Consumer Expenditure Survey" to estimate individual savings and other expenditure variables incorporated into the Project's income replacement formulas. The income replacement ratio formula's components include preretirement gross pay, preretirement taxes, preretirement savings, postretirement taxes, work-related expenses, and net change in age-related expenditures. A central section looks in detail at how the ratio formula works with a single individual and a married couple under various conditions. Two detailed tables and two figures illustrate the analysis. Further sections discuss savings rates and their effect on income replacement ratios and the effects of taxing 85 percent of social security benefits (currently proposed by the Clinton Administration). A conclusion notes that research findings indicate that those retiring in 1993 need about 69 to 82 percent of final-year salary to sustain their preretirement standard of living.

  • Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08): Current Status of Benefits
    Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08): Current Status of Benefits Julie M. Whittaker Specialist in Income Security Katelin P. Isaacs Analyst in Income Security March 28, 2012 The House Ways and Means Committee is making available this version of this Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, with the cover date shown, for inclusion in its 2012 Green Book website. CRS works exclusively for the United States Congress, providing policy and legal analysis to Committees and Members of both the House and Senate, regardless of party affiliation. Congressional Research Service R42444 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08): Current Status of Benefits Summary The temporary Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC08) program may provide additional federal unemployment insurance benefits to eligible individuals who have exhausted all available benefits from their state Unemployment Compensation (UC) programs. Congress created the EUC08 program in 2008 and has amended the original, authorizing law (P.L. 110-252) 10 times. The most recent extension of EUC08 in P.L. 112-96, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, authorizes EUC08 benefits through the end of calendar year 2012. P.L. 112- 96 also alters the structure and potential availability of EUC08 benefits in states. Under P.L. 112- 96, the potential duration of EUC08 benefits available to eligible individuals depends on state unemployment rates as well as the calendar date. The P.L. 112-96 extension of the EUC08 program does not allow any individual to receive more than 99 weeks of total unemployment insurance (i.e., total weeks of benefits from the three currently authorized programs: regular UC plus EUC08 plus EB).

Hoyt Purvis University of Arkansas Anonymous sources have been important factors in some of the major news stories of our time. But does this reliance on unnamed sources to too far? The use and possible abuse of anonymous sources is a matter of continuing controversy in the media and can have a direct bearing on the credibility of the media. Questions related to the use of such sources are examined in a study of the use of anonymous sources in 14 daily editions of three daily newspapers, focusing on the quantity of articles using anonymous sources, their subject matter, location, and rationale for using unnamed sources. This is done within the context of the ongoing controversy about the reliance on such sources in major news organizations. Results of this study are reported and analyzed and provide some clear indications about the extent and nature of the use of anonymous sources, and point to a possible over-dependence and problematic trend.
